His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 875

While Niamh wasn’t like those who put their faith in metaphysics and fortune-telling, willing to risk everything on a prophecy, she understood the principle of “man proposes, God disposes.”

However, Russian Roulette, a game of life and death, was absolutely not something played with luck. And before leaving things to fate, one must always do everything humanly possible.

Niamh had always believed that opportunity favors the prepared mind—and that included the opportunity to live.

The moment they discovered Joker’s location was the lawless “Gambler’s Paradise,” she and Jonathan began analyzing his most likely course of action. Since the venue was a casino, his goal in kidnapping Lana was most likely to force them into a wager.

While there were countless games to play, Jonathan believed there was one that an assassin would be most inclined to choose: Russian Roulette.

As the top assassin for The Vipers' Nest, Joker’s expertise was with firearms. Now, diagnosed with a terminal illness and running out of time, he would inevitably choose a method that seemed thrilling but was, in fact, completely secure, ensuring Niamh would die and Jonathan would be left to suffer.

Thus, Jonathan came to a conclusion: “Joker will definitely make us play Russian Roulette.”

Niamh agreed.

Russian Roulette appeared to be a game of luck, but in reality, it could be completely controlled through skill and calculation to determine exactly which shot would fire the live round. Jonathan gambled that Joker would pre-calculate the bullet’s rotation, ensuring the live round would be in the chamber when it was his turn to shoot Niamh.

So, their plan was simple: during Jonathan's turn, the one right before the supposed live round, he had to make the cylinder rotate past two chambers instead of one. This would move the live round up one position earlier than Joker anticipated—landing squarely on Joker’s own turn.

The key to this plan was the revolver itself.

Jonathan knew the casinos on that man-made island were all operated by the three major gangs. The Vipers' Nest was out of the question; that was Joker's home turf. That left two others: the Black Serpents and the Water Ghosts.
